Delete Pages from a PDF

Upload your PDF, click the pages you want to remove (or type ranges such as 1, 3-5), then click Delete Pages. The remaining pages are saved as a new PDF in the same order. At least one page has to remain.

How to Use

  1. Upload the PDF

    Drop your file onto the upload area to see page thumbnails.

  2. Mark pages to remove

    Click the thumbnails of unwanted pages, or enter numbers and ranges like 1, 3-5, 8.

  3. Delete

    Click Delete Pages. The tool keeps every page you did not select.

  4. Check and download

    Scroll through the preview to confirm, then download the new PDF.

Deleting pages safely

The tool builds a new PDF from the pages you keep, so your original file is never altered. If you delete the wrong page, simply start again from the original.

Removing pages does not always shrink the file by the same proportion. Fonts and images shared across pages stay in the file if any kept page still uses them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I undo a deletion?

Your original file is untouched, so you can upload it again and make a different selection.

Is the file uploaded?

No. Pages are removed in your browser.

Is Delete Pages free?

It is a premium tool: free accounts get 3 premium tasks a day, then each task costs 100 credits, charged at download.

Does deleting a page remove its content permanently?

The deleted pages are not included in the new file. If you need to remove text from a page you keep, select that text block in Edit PDF and delete it; the editor removes the underlying text rather than covering it.
